Born to be a coach [soccer]

Rumors of Vincent's transfer had been circulating earlier, and many potential buyers had already found the club. CEO Martin Bain is handling the transfer.However, many Sunderland fans who love Vincent said that they do not want Vincent to leave the team and hope that Vincent can work with the team to tide over the difficulties together.Fans believe that this season will never be as bad as last season, so they need an attacker like Vincent.

"Darren, we need you!" the fans said.

At that time, Vincent's answer to the fans was: "I don't want to leave the club, unless the club asks me to go!"

But everyone in the team knew that Vincent had thought of leaving a long time ago.

But who would have thought that Vincent would take advantage of this moment and sneak away to London to meet privately with other clubs and talk about transfers? !

What time is it now?There are three days, three days before they will visit Anfield and have an FA Cup replay with Liverpool.Even people like Sir Alex Ferguson have said that Sunderland is not without hope. The characteristic of cup games is that anything can happen, and strength on paper is not the decisive factor in the outcome of the game.

This time, if Anton hadn't happened to see Vincent in London, everyone might have been kept in the dark.Worse than this is that there are many media gathered in London. In this sensitive season of January, even a little trouble may cause the media to chase after it. This will have a huge impact on the mentality of the players and the unity of the team.

Russell simply walked out of the bar with Ragana, taking advantage of the damp and cold outdoor air to calm his mind.He came outside, looking at the haze that was still visible in the sky after nightfall, and remembered what Anton said: "We may be useless as a striker at Anfield."

Vincent went to London privately, which was a very serious breach of discipline.If the team keeps silent about this matter, or even let it go lightly, then in the future, can other players contact the transfer target in private without any scruples, leave if they want, and stay if they want?

"Let's see how the head coach handles this!" Russell muffled to Garner.

Russell's prediction was good. The next day, some media broke the news: "Sunderland's leading striker is suspected of being a private transfer target!" "The war is about to change, and Sunderland's trip to Anfield is worrying!"

The accompanying pictures are a few pictures of Darren Vincent in the high-end restaurant in Covent Garden, but the light in the restaurant is very dark, and only half of Vincent's face is photographed, so it cannot be confirmed that it is Vincent.But in addition, Vincent was also photographed on the last train back to Sunderland, and the photo was clearly taken when he entered the train station in London.

The next morning Vincent drove to Guangming Academy, and the media had already blocked him here.When Vincent got out of the car, the reporters asked loudly: "Mr. Vincent, which club are you going to transfer to?"

"When will it happen, will it affect your participation in the FA Cup replay on behalf of Sunderland?"

Vincent shook his hand: "Nothing!"

Of course he couldn't admit right now that between him and the club, he couldn't be the villain.

A few fans also gathered outside Guangming Academy. When they saw Vincent parking the car, they rushed over and asked loudly: "Darren, Darren, you told us that the media is lying! You promised us, this Will stay at the club for the season..."

Vincent:……

He faced eager fans, but he couldn't tell the truth. Would it be too cruel to say it now?Besides, he still doesn't know the attitude of the club.

So Vincent was a little flustered. He just shook his hands at the fans, then greeted the guards, and strode into the training base.The reporters and fans were all blocked by the guards.

When the fans saw Vincent waving, most of them left contentedly: they thought that Vincent had made a statement and promised not to transfer.

But Vincent entered Guangming Academy and was immediately called to CEO Martin's office.There, Martin, Anton and Russell were all sitting in the room, and everyone looked at Vincent seriously, causing Vincent to feel a little guilty.

"Darren," Martin said as a representative, told Vincent, "This morning, we received an offer from Aston Villa Football Club. They are willing to bid 850 million pounds to invite you to join. What do you think?"

Vincent breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Fortunately, the club did not pursue his trip to London last night.Hearing Martin asking for his opinion, Vincent "modestly" expressed that he wanted to hear the opinion of the club.

At this time, Anton added leisurely from the side: "We don't think 850 million pounds can reflect your value, so we have already rejected this offer!"

Vincent jumped up all of a sudden, pounding his fists on the desk in the office: "How could this be? Why didn't the club just ask me what I thought, and just reject Villa directly?"

God, the transfer fee will not go into Vincent's pocket no matter what he does with Vincent, but after moving to Aston Villa, his weekly salary will increase by 30%. Lost money for a day!

Vincent can beat the table, but Russell can beat it better than him here. With a "bang" punch, he jumped up and pointed at Vincent: "Now tell the truth, the weekly salary has already been paid. Are you ready to talk? Why are you pretending to be pretending?... I just look down on people like you, so if you want to leave, say it early. Seeing that the team is about to play an important game to save face, you stab the team in the back at this time knife……"

In the position of Zhengyin striker, every team is almost a carrot and a hole.Vincent's transfer means that Sunderland has no striker in the middle.

Anton and Martin held Russell down together, but Russell was still yelling, "What are you pretending to do! You weren't the only media who saw you in London yesterday..."

Anton waited for Russell to shut up, and smiled at Vincent. His attitude was still so warm, like a spring breeze, which made Vincent heave a sigh of relief.But I heard Anton say: "Vincent, it's a coincidence that I happened to ask for leave to go to London yesterday because of some personal matters."

Vincent suddenly understood that he could not hide from Anton any more about his private contacts with other clubs.

"I think Aston Villa must offer you a very good weekly salary, which is something that Sunderland, who is in the British Championship, cannot provide you. There is an old Chinese saying that 'Water flows to a low place. , people go to high places'. I understand your desire to transfer."

Vincent glanced at Anton, then glanced at Russell with disdain, thinking that the two coaches are of different levels, why Anton's words...are so beautiful?

"But you also know that your contract with the club has not yet expired, so your transfer needs to be agreed by the three parties." Anton explained to Vincent, "So when the club is fighting for interests, I hope you can cooperate. .”

Anton has this kind of ability, he can speak in a gentle manner, but the listener has to obey orders. Vincent knew that he had no other choice.Sunderland wants to use Vincent's deal to maximize Sunderland's interests. Vincent has no choice but to transfer smoothly for himself.

Vincent was discouraged, and asked in a low voice, "Coach, what do you need me to do?"

"The public relations department will come forward to 'clarify' your trip to London last night. We need you to keep silent until the transfer agreement is officially signed. Can you do it?" Anton said with a straight face.

"Yes!" Vincent nodded.

"Let Martin handle the transfer. Don't interfere. In addition, please keep your mouth shut in front of other team members and don't affect their emotions. Can you do it?" Anton asked again.

Vincent wanted to get the high-paying contract at Villa, so he nodded honestly, and even apologized to Martin and Anton in a very good manner.He agreed to all the club's requests.

After Vincent left, Martin looked at Anton and Russell and said, "This is good. You two need to make a decision. Go to Anfield on the 13th. Do you want Vincent to play?"

It wasn't an easy decision.Russell was so worried that he began to complain again: "Hey, isn't it true that the signings of several other centers have not been negotiated? Otherwise, as long as I have a center in hand, I will dare to put Vincent on the bench. superior."

In fact, this is not the case. If there is an emergency signing at this time, it can certainly fill the position left by Vincent temporarily, but it will take time for the signing and the team to run in. This is especially true for forwards, who need time to adapt to the cooperation with the whole team. .A hasty substitution may not be able to achieve results.That's why Russell was so angry, angry that Vincent gave the team a trick so suddenly.

"But we have to put Vincent on the bench." Anton said thoughtfully, "Vincent is no longer in a state to compete for the team. The request I made to him just now is just so that he will not affect other players. It's just the mood of the players."

"Huh?" Martin and Russell cried out in surprise.

Without Vincent, who will they use as a striker when they play against Liverpool?

Anton looked at the two surprised faces in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Have you never seen someone using the 'No Front Array'?"

Soon on the night of January 1, the BBC commentator responsible for explaining the game was still Phil Fletcher.He let out a gasp of surprise as he read the starting line-up aloud: "My God, Sunderland put their leading striker on the bench."

"In the starting XI, no one is really a striker. Sunderland played a 'no striker', they played a formation like 460. What is this doing, is this a tribute to the opponent ?”

What Fletcher means: The 460 frontless formation that Sunderland is now playing is exactly the tactic used by the coach of the opponent Liverpool, Master Benitezbe, when he was coaching in Valencia.

The author has something to say: The name of the 460 formation is based on Du Niang’s website. It probably means that instead of arranging a fixed player to perform the task of rushing forward, multiple players in the midfield will take turns to carry out the assault, so as to make the opponent Defenders are hard to defend. In 2012, the Spanish national team also used this tactic when Torres was not in good form.

The game is about to kick off at Anfield, see you tomorrow!
